People also ask
Q.Do I need Meta to approve every car-dealer WhatsApp template?
Yes. All non-session messages (broadcasts, reminders, follow-ups outside the 24-hour window) must be approved templates. Service replies inside 24 hours can be free-form.
Q.What category should test-drive booking templates use?
Use UTILITY for booking confirmations, reminders and service alerts. Use MARKETING for offers, festive launches and re-engagement campaigns. Mixing them is the #1 reason for rejection.
Q.Can I send images of the car in the WhatsApp template?
Yes — both header image and PDF brochure attachments are supported. Image must be JPG/PNG under 5 MB and pre-uploaded with the template for approval.
Q.How many templates can a dealership keep approved?
Meta allows up to 6,000 approved templates per WABA. Most dealerships use 30–60 across sales, service, insurance and festive cycles.
Q.Are emoji and variables ({{1}}) allowed in dealer templates?
Yes. Use up to 10 variables per template; keep one short example value per variable so Meta can approve quickly.
Q.Why does my festival-offer template keep getting rejected?
Most rejections are because the template promises an unspecified discount, lacks an opt-out line, or uses ALL CAPS. Add the exact offer and a clear opt-out.
Why pre-built templates beat writing from scratch
Meta rejects roughly one-third of first-time WhatsApp templates submitted by dealerships — usually for ALL-CAPS, vague offers, missing opt-out, or wrong category. Each rejection delays a campaign by 24–48 hours.
The templates below are written to Meta's 2026 Business Messaging Policy: correct category, opt-out line, sensible variables and tested header images. Most are approved within 60 minutes.
